What is Xatral?
Xatral is used to treat the signs and
symptoms of benign enlargement of the prostate (benign prostatic
hyperplasia or BPH). Benign enlargement of the prostate is a problem
that can occur in men as they get older. The prostate gland is located
below the bladder. As the prostate gland enlarges, certain muscles
in the gland may become tight and get in the way of the tube that
drains urine from the bladder. This can cause problems in urinating,
such as a need to urinate often, a weak stream when urinating, or
a feeling of not being able to empty the bladder completely. Xatral
helps relax the muscles in the prostate and the opening of the bladder.
This may help increase the flow of urine and/or decrease the symptoms.
